Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations
 
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective as of December 22, 2011, Avistar Communications Corporation (“Avistar”), as borrower, entered into the following agreements with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), as lender: (i) the third amended and restated revolving credit promissory note agreement, (ii) the third amended and restated collateral agreement, and (iii) the fifth amended and restated security agreement. The amended agreements related to the renewal of a line of credit with the Bank, which Avistar may draw upon during the term of the note to fund its business operations (the “Credit Facility”).
 
Also, effective as of December 22, 2011, Gerald J. Burnett, Chairman of Avistar, and The Gerald J. Burnett and Marjorie J. Burnett Revocable Trust entered into the fourth amended and restated guaranty with the Bank pledging personal assets as collateral for the Credit Facility.
 
The amended agreements extended the maturity date of the note from December 22, 2011 to December 22, 2012 for a line of credit up to $8.0 million from December 22, 2011 through and including March 13, 2012, and then reduced the line of credit to $6.0 million from and after March 14, 2012 through the maturity date on December 22, 2012.  As of December 22, 2011, the total principal amount borrowed by Avistar under the Credit Facility was $8.0 million.
 
The Credit Facility is subject to customary terms and conditions, including several reporting and non-financial covenants.  As security for the payment of its obligations under the Credit Facility, Avistar granted JPMorgan a security interest in and right of setoff against substantially all of the assets of Avistar, tangible and intangible. The repayment of funds borrowed and interest accrued under the Credit Facility is also personally guaranteed by Gerald J. Burnett, Chairman of Avistar, and The Gerald J. Burnett and Marjorie J. Burnett Revocable Trust, who has pledged personal assets as collateral for the Credit Facility.
 
The foregoing description of the Credit Facility as amended, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the amended and restated revolving credit promissory note, the amended and restated collateral agreement, the amended and restated security agreement, the amended and restated guaranty, and subsequent amendments and restatements, which were filed as exhibits to Avistar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2006 to 2010, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarters ended March 31 and September 30, 2011, and the amendments thereto which are expected to be filed as exhibits to Avistar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011.
